Rotary District 6110
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)

About RYLA

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants in District 6110 is focused on class leaders who are currently in their junior (11th grade) year of high school. If your club is hosting a student from a foreign country as long as the individual is attending high school (10-12th grades), he or she may attend RYLA camp with the permission and participation of the sponsoring club.

The 20th annual RYLA camp will be held at the Salvation Army Heart of the Hills  facility located in Welling, Oklahoma just outside Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Our camp is looking for bright leaders who have displayed leadership characteristics. RYLA is a great opportunity sought after activity for college applications. We accept students who have outstanding records and are looking for new ways to learn and grow into a better leader.
